Very annoying bug: Dialogs on Windows XP

I have a very annoying bug on my Windows XP with the officeribbon35: every popup (OpenFileDialog, custom forms for examples) opens, but we cannot close or resize it. We cannot do anything, a sort of "partial freeze".

I understand that this is very annoying, but I am afraid I can not help you. I do not have any XP machines, and I am not good at C# Would you know how to write a patch, and if so, please feel free to upload it!

can you be a bit more specific on the problem? Are you showing these modal dialogs in a RibbonButton click event or what? I am trying to understand exactly what you're doing so I can determine a solution. If I can duplicate it, I can fix
it.

This is all due to inheriting from RibbonForm. There are a lot of problems when doing this and I have yet to figure them out. This goes a bit beyond my expertise and I have been hoping someone who understands the NonClient form
stuff better that I will show up. The problem you are having is that the WndProc routine in the RibbonFormHelper is consuming the click events before the popup dialog gets it. If you absolutely must have the office 2007/2010 form appearance then
take a look at Qios Dev Suite. Im my project is a sample form on how to incorporate their Caption control with this ribbon. I tried to use their ribbon but it was so complicated and hard to use that I modified this ribbon to work in tandom
with their form control. This gives the look you guys are after. So before you submit more issues on the RibbonForm Inheritance feature make sure you have checked out my sample form in the source code. www.staffinder.net/carbisoft/source/Ribbon35.zip.
I am not sure if the source on this site contains my sample projects so I have included a link to my stuff. Visit my site at
www.staffinder.net/carbisoft for documentation on Qios. I love this ribbon and still use it in my projects. I just dont use the RibbonForm feature

I believe this also has something to do with the theme on the desktop. For example, in Windows 7 with the "Windows 7 Theme" there are no issues whatsoever. However, when I switch to the classic theme (what I use normally for development), I get
the same issue the OP has.
